Description

This umbrella issue is about adding clean server-side "user orientated" internal APIs that are about 'doing things' (as benlau says over in HBASE-14439
"New/Improved Filesystem Abstractions") such as creating and deleting tables, etc. Initially, we'll retrofit in a ClusterSchema Interface/API that cleans up Master internals and abstracts away implementation detail around the manipulation of namespace and tables.

This project operates at a level above the undertaking described in HBASE-7806 "Isolate the FileSystem calls" and related issues, but has the same intent of making it so we can the more easily swap in alternate implementations and representations; e.g. changing filesystem layout under the covers. It is a complement to HBASE-7806 and related lower-level undertakings (look out for the gold spike when this top-down vector crosses the bottom-up endeavor).
